Is it against the law to swear on the phone to someone and they report you?
No, not unless it was racist
You cant swear in a public place or if there are more than 2 people present.
Same goes for sex
I doubt it.
If it was racist then proberbly but if not then nothing to worry about.
EDIT : Leftfordead beat me to it :D
nah, nothing racist.. just like maybe insulting slightly, slightly..
Was it like
If so then i highly doubt it, besides you still wouldnt goto prison or even get a caution for it.Quote:
YOU ******* IDIOIT
No it isant. But if its persistent and aggressive, you are then breaking the law.
wouldn't have thought so.
sure??
you cant swear in public? o.o..
Nope, Ive swore down the phone to a police man... Not sounding rebelish as in '**** of pig' It was more of 'Oh ******* hell' type thing... Nothing will happen, doubt anyone would be so pathetic to report you for swearing down the phone to them anyway :P
If it was racist, but if not then no. Everyone swears even cops which means they should be arrested too.
nope, don't think so.
If you were abusing them.
Not directed at anyone, or if the person you are directing it to is fine with it I guess.
They cant prove it so dont worry about it :)
If they recorded it that would be illegal without asking your permission or stating the call is recorded straigh away.
nah i doubt you would
If you are swearing abusively or threatening then yes action may be taken as I suppose it is harrasment.
